Steve, Yes, that's the movie - The Hot Spot. Funny, I love the music, but I've yet to see the movie...
Here’s, I think, a fun story. After reading Dayglow’s post just yesterday, I ordered a NM copy of Cedar Walton’s “Soundscapes” yesterday off Discogs. Today it shows up at my door in a mailer but with no postage. Turns out I bought it from a record merchant just a mile and a half up the road from my house, Jump Jump Records. It’s a store that I’ve never been in because Dan, the sole proprietor, doesn’t really keep regular hours and the few times I’ve tried he wasn’t around. Called him and thanked him for the favor and fastest delivery ever. Nice guy. |
Just arrived today. Jack Nitzsche - "The Hot Spot" Original Motion Picture Soundtrack Robbie Robertson - S/T Both are fantastic albums IMHO, full of great supporting artists The Hot Spot is a movie soundtrack, composed by Jack Nitzsche and performed by John Lee Hooker, Miles Davis, Taj Mahal, Roy Rogers, Tim Drummond, Bradford Ellis and Earl Palmer. The self-titled Robbie Robertson album features U2, The BoDeans, Daniel Lanois, Peter Gabriel, Terry Bozzio, Tony Levin, Garth Hudson, Rick Danko, Ivan Neville and more! Both of these records have been on my wishlist for years. I've owned the CDs for a long time and finally got them on vinyl. Both are in really nice condition and both sound great. |
James - This is a favorite of mine from a music perspective…just stellar frozen a time stuff with coconspirators I love… I have the 50 th and a pristine German PP. i find the 50 th to have a layer of grunge and murk removed. As you know i am a level matching dude and from the get go the 50 th is cut a whisker hotter, tredle clear, extended and sweet. i expect this would sound awesome on your ESL 63. Tamalpais High has wall to wall soundscapes. I believe both Joel and Steve also have the 50 th. IMO very much worth having. Jim |
Steve, you know, I like it. Ripley has been around for awhile and is of course pretty well known here in the Northwest. I’ve been listening to his stuff in various solo and collaborative iterations for awhile and have always been interested but never bought any of his records before. This one is nice. Kinda mello. I like it. |
@slaw 👍 you introduced me/us to Mountain Goats. |
@spiritofradio - yes, the Berkey is direct to disk and sounds great! |

Tears For Fears had two really great albums. Holds well, to this day.
I saw Wendy O and the Plasmatics at Perkins Palace, in Pasadena. And yes, they blew up a car on stage (signature performance stunt). It was quite a sonic concussion. And yes, she was wearing electrical tape over her nipples, otherwise topless. |
